Man, Zoombinis, those were the days. A few friends and I all "played" it in our elementary days; however I am convinced that the lessons I learned there about binary numbers, problem solving, and spacial and mathematical efficiency stick with me to this day.
As was written in this article, many students apart from CS never fully understand number bases, which is unfortunate. I applaud this attempt and others (Zoombinis, etc) to teach some of these basic concepts at an early age.
